We all know the importance of the volunteer work of surf lifesavers around Australia. In this regard I congratulate Brienna Elford of the South West Rocks Surf Life Saving Club, who has been selected to attend the Surf Lifesaving Australia National Leaders' Masterclass for those who hold senior leadership roles in surf lifesaving. Brienna was selected from a large field of applicants across New South Wales, where only seven were selected to attend. Over the four days the selected participants will be challenged to think strategically about the future of surf lifesaving in the company of likeminded members from clubs around Australia. They will further develop their leadership knowledge, learn new skills and create opportunities for personal growth through networking exposure and lifesaving pathways. I know that the South West Rocks Surf Life Saving Club are very proud of Brienna and her achievements and I know that she will be a great ambassador for surf lifesaving. I congratulate her for her efforts as I congratulate all volunteers in surf lifesaving.
